I'm Jazmin. I'm a 24 year old book worm from California.
I majored in Global Studies in college and studied abroad in Bordeaux, France. I speak French and Spanish proficiently.
I love medieval and renaissance history particularly French and Spanish monarchy history. I fell in love with history naturally through historical fiction at the tender age of 7 and have been in love ever since.
Since I have a particular niche in the genre, I've already read most well-known books in historical fiction of those time periods, but I am not branching out to non-fiction and in different eras. I most recently enjoyed

I've just picked up

I would love to find discussions on those books as well as recommendations on similar books of any time period, though I strongly prefer French/Spanish medieval/renaissance.
Thanks for the welcome!
Jazmin
